Automated manufacturing technology company unspun announced that brands, including Walmart and REI, have signed letters of support for the company’s plan to build domestic manufacturing capacity in the U.S. In partnership with Bethel Industries, Peckham and PDS Ltd./GSC Link, the company plans to establish automated production hubs equipped with unspun’s artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled 3D weaving technology, with initial production to begin soon.
With more than $50 million in VC funding, unspun is advancing its proprietary AI-enabled 3D weaving technology that produces garments directly from yarn through an automated process.
“We are not exploring whether domestic apparel manufacturing can work. We are building it,” says Arne Arens, CEO of unspun. “Our clients are looking for a new production model because they see the economics: manufacturing closer to the customer, responding to demand within the same season, and creating skilled American jobs in the process.”
The company’s 3D technology weaves semi-finished garments directly from yarn in minutes, transforming multiple traditional cut-and-sew steps into a single, automated process. The platform enables brands to produce closer to demand, reorder within the same season and significantly reduce excess inventory.
“Our customers are proud to buy apparel made in America, and the demand keeps growing. We are excited about unspun’s commitment and effort in helping rebuild domestic manufacturing capability that is faster, smarter, and designed for how customers actually shop,” says Avisnash Bhasker, vice president, apparel production development at Walmart,
